SAW and Ninjas in Pyjamas will meet in the quarter-finals of the second open qualification for Gamers8 2023. The Portuguese squad has impressed so far, notably by knocking Astralis out of qualifying.
On the other hand, the Swedish core of Ninjas in Pyjamas looks much more promising than Aleksib. And although the team has not had time to prove themselves yet, but on the disctunition "ninjas" look very good.
In general, despite the format and all the danger of the Portuguese in BO1, I would look towards the obvious favourite. So here I'd lean on a win for the Ninjas in Pyjamas team.
SAW uniforms
The 26th world ranked team managed to win ESL Masters Spain Season 13 Finals and CCT West Europe Series 4, but also decided to merge with CCT North Europe Series 5 with a monstrous performance against Sampi.
On the other hand, in mid-June, the Portuguese squad also won the local Master League Portugal XI Finals, where they picked up two wins over GTZ and Make Your Destiny along the way.
As for Long Sogpeg's qualification for Gamers8 2023, SAW has already defeated SHAPITO and Astralis, which in itself seems like an interesting development for The International.
SAW's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over BIG.
- A 2-1 win over GTZ.
- A 3-0 win over Make Your Destiny.
- 16:10 victory over SHAPITO.
- 16:8 victory over Astralis.
Best SAW results:
- Ancient - 78% wins.
- Anubis - 71% wins.
- Vertigo - 70% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 62% wins.
- Nuke - 60% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the Portuguese team is steadily giving up Mirage.
Ninjas in Pyjamas uniforms
The thirteenth team of the world ranking managed to fail in the closed qualification for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, where they first failed to cope with cheaters, and after Ledgeil BIG and became only the fourth.
Towards the end of the season, Ninjas in Pyjamas also took part in CCT 2023 Online Finals 1, but even there the team lost to anyone, namely Into the Breach and 9INE.
However, the Swedish team did well in the current qualification for Gamers8 2023, where they defeated Hawks and Eternal Fire.
Ninjas in Pyjamas' latest results:
- A 2-0 victory over Meta.
- A 1:2 loss to Into the Breach.
- A 0-2 loss to 9INE.
- A 16-9 win over Hawks.
- 16:5 victory over Eternal Fire.
Best Ninjas in Pyjamas:
- Mirage - 87% wins.
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
In turn, the Swedish team does not appear on the map Anubis.

SAW - Ninjas in Pyjamas Match Prediction
I wouldn't look at the numbers, as Ninjas in Pyjamas hasn't opened up in this lineup yet. Moreover, SAW was playing at a completely different level where they were able to rack up those stats.
Still, I wouldn't put much faith in the Portuguese squad, as SAW could flounder in such a situation. Yes, the guys had already shut down Astralis the day before, but it's a different situation there.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on the victory of the Ninjas in Pyjamas team.
